Happy Halloween! The end of the #Inktober challenge has arrived, and I DID it – I drew and posted an ink drawing every day this month.Thanks so much for all the positive comments, and for sticking with me – I always hate to bombard people with posts. Question: Which of the 31 sketches I posted was your favorite?I absolutely need to make this part of my daily routine – I forgot how much fun it is to draw just for drawing's sake.#inktober #clown #ink #sketch #brush #blackandwhite #art #instaartist #brianallen Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen

(shoot forgot to post this last night) Back to back #tiki ink drawings for #Inktober ! This was a concept I had sketched out a while ago and always wanted to bring it to life.

This drawing I did for #Inktober Day 15 shows another one of my early sources of inspiration – Todd McFarlane from Spawn. This wasn't meant to look like the Violator character when I started drawing, but it turned out that way. Pro Drawing Tip: If your character isn't looking great, stick a cigar in his mouth.

Third day of #InkTober! I'm really enjoying forcing myself to just have some quick sketching fun on paper again – I need to make this part of my daily routine when October is over.

Day 2 of #InkTober! So here's a pen and ink sketch of Man-Worm (or Worm-Man, still deciding).I wish I had a clever artistic reasoning to explain why this image exists, but I've got nothing.

I'm going to be participating in #InkTober this year, which is an artist challenge started by Jake Parker where we have to draw and post a new ink drawing (traditional, no digital!) every day of the month of October.I'm really excited about it, because I really need to force myself to spend more time drawing just for me (no offense, Mr. Client). Here is the first drawing in the series.
